Showcases: Alina Lopez - 2 Scenes in 1

Alina Lopez walks through the front door looking for her boyfriend Corey so they can head to homecoming. Instead she finds his sister Eliza Ibarra, who tells her Corey’s running late again. That’s why Eliza switched to girls, she says, and the words hang in the air between them. Alina feels her cheeks burn, mumbles something about waiting in Corey’s room, and leaves, but her pulse is already racing. Eliza gives her a few minutes before following. She finds Alina perched on the edge of the bed and slides in close, brushing her fingertips up Alina’s thigh. "You could do way better than my loser brother." Her palm settles higher. "Ever been with a girl?" Alina’s breath catches, but she stays put. Her boyfriend hasn’t touched her in weeks. Eliza’s mouth finds her breast the moment her dress slips, and Alina stops pretending she doesn’t want this. Eliza’s tongue works her open with practiced skill; Alina comes hard and fast, fingers twisted in the sheets. Then the bedroom door opens—Corey’s home. The spell shatters. Later Alina bursts into Gina Valentina’s room and spills everything. Gina listens, soft and patient, then says homecoming doesn’t have to be ruined. She’ll be Alina’s date. The night passes in a blur of lights and music. Back at Gina’s, the air thickens again. Gina asks if Alina wants to kiss her the way she kissed Eliza. Alina answers by leaning in. Their mouths meet, slow and searching, hands sliding beneath dresses. Alina confesses she kept imagining Gina’s lips on hers while they danced. Soon she’s showing Gina everything Eliza taught her, tasting her best friend like she’s starving.
